I am thrilled to share with you that Consumer
Reports, a longtime and
highly respected U.S.-based non-profit, has this week
appointed Lane
Rasberry as its first Wikipedian in Residence, as part of an initiative to
improve the public's access to accurate information about medical tests and
procedures. We expect a formal announcement from Consumer Reports within
the next two weeks; but Lane will be beginning his outreach work to
Wikipedians and others in the medical field in the meantime.
Lane is active in Wikipedia editing and outreach, with a focus on
clinical
research ethics and open science. Lane's skills, experience, and
passions will be a great asset to both Wikipedia and Consumer Reports;
please join me in extending a warm welcome to him!
(While Consumer Reports is of course not a GLAM, the program drew very
heavily on
GLAM programs, so I think the readers on this list should be
among the first to know!)
